MAI3IVACTUITING DISTRICTS. (From the - Ncutehester Gazette;) "We regret to find that individuals from the surrounding towns arc busily engaged in inciting our hitherto patient work-people to acts of violenee. On Thursday evening, about 1,200 invividuals assembled in St. George's-fields. sort of ring was formed by the meeting, and the speakers were placed in the middle. The first speaker said that he had been at Ashton to look for work', but the people told him he could get nothing unless he took up arms—they had taken up arms; and " what do you ssy ?" said the sneaker, " will you take up arms and join them ?" Some hesitated, whilst others expressed their fears of the eolasO , (laices of such a procedure. At length, after the speaker had repeated , his question, and asserted that the country people were ready to use, the multitude exclaimed, " We. will—we will!" ",Then give three cheers," exclaimed the speaker; and three cheers were given, but not with much animation. The next speaker was a man apparently about 4h. Fellow sufferers and comrades," said he, " it has , long been a stigma on the town of Manchester that the work-people are cowards. Can you allow: its continuance ? No. Then take up arms and wash away the stain. Retrieve your liberties ;no longer be trampled under font by tyranny and avarice. Arm—arm yourelves. Resolve to die out of doors; the people of Ashton have resolved not to die in-doors." (There was here a cry of " The soldiers are coMing.") " Never mind the sol diers," continued this intigator of mischief, " I have a thing that will reach ni man on horseback—arm your selves—arm yourselves. Don't quarrel about religion, but tlo as I: do- -despise all priestcraft or kingcraft. Look here at Bishops and Lorda with 50,000/, a-year for. doing nothing, and all out of the pockets of the people, while we have not a bit to put into our mouths." A voice from the crowd" Bravo, lad—we'll alter it.") "So come—arm yourselves—nobody will befriend you but yonrselves."—Aftcr a little hesitation the multituile cried, " We will—we will." . In conclusion, the speaker, who appeared to have words at will, said; " We ishall Meet again to Morrow evening.(yeSterday) on a piece of waste ground :near AncOuts ; and, I hope you will all come pre pared with something to .suit; your appetites, and to de fend your bodies in ease you are molested." The as sembly then:dispersed, said their numbers creating alarm, a party of the Queen's Bays, and a company or two of the Coldstream Guards, patrolled the neighbourhood for the remainder of the night. tie course of the proceedings a young man waa'seen to draw Item his pocket a pike-bead about 14 inches long, and holding it up, exclaimed; " Mind that you have all a thing like this." Another meeting took place last night at eight o'clock in a field near Animas, between Travis-street and the canal. About 3,000 or 4,000 persons were assembled, and there could not be less than 4,000. who had placed themselves on the surrounding heights. A ring was form ed, and an old. Man, who appeared to be 60 or upwards, urged them to arm themselves. A. person then called out for the Blackburn delegates, but they did not appear until it became'dark.' 'They stated, that in Blackburn the people were ready 'arined. They had upwards of two waggon loads of and they were ready to meet the .Manchester men at a n y hour thev would fix. The people of Middletthi were expected in town to-night Oast night) or the night follnwing. Several persons ad dressed the multitude, and all urged them to procure arias and to be firm. The civil and military powers, hoWever, were on the alert, and kept so during the night. (Frem the Manehestrr Guardian), " We regret to state, that during the present week some meetings, of a character but too likely to lead to a breach of the peage, 3100 been held in this terse). On Wedness day evening, *wain - aavenitind: eight u ti kick, ,upwards of totso people (how convened we. Wive. not been ahle to, learn) collected in the vacant ground near. St. George's Road, and remained assembled about an hour, during which time some very inflammatory addresses were made to them by two men —one, we understand, a delegate from Leigh, and the other a resident in Manchester. The for tnets told the people they had borne their sufferings long enough, and they must nowdo something to put an end to them„ He urged them to Meet in greater numbers that all could find funs should bring them ; that the others . should arm themselves at the gunsmiths' shops ; and that they should help themselves at the prevision shops,: and at the banks. The other speaker addressed the people to pretty nearly the same etTeet ; and they separated soon of eight o'clock, with an understanding that they were to meet again the folloling night. They eonkequently as sembled in greater numbere on Thursday evening about the same hour, when speeches of a similar character to those uttered on :Wednesday were again addressed to them, - but by 'different persons. One man was particu larly violent. He strongly exhorted the people to come the next night armed. A. man in the crowd here lifted up a large bludgeon, and asked if they were to arm them selves in that manner? The speaker replied that would do for.those who could not get better weapons : but they must get possession of the gunemiths shops, and the, bar racks : they Would then become masters of every thing, and could help themselves to what they wanted. the meeting broke up about half, past eight. The greater part of the people turned along Cropper-street into Oldham-road, where it happened that Colonel Kearsley, of the 2d Dra goon Guards, and Major Ekersley were riding, attended by a single dragoon. Aasoon as the mob perceived those officers, they pursued them towards New Cross,: hooting, and, in one ,or two instances, throwing ,;tones at them; bec we believe, without doing them any injury; -' I *lit a much largeetnimber of perions,:.amount ing, probably, altogether to 'between four and five thou• sand persons, assembled about eight o'clock, not in St Giorge's4Oad, but on a vacant piece of Foetid opposite Mr. Ames Kennedy'e factory. After some time spent in making. a ring, an Irishmati, dressed in a short frock---we believe the same individual who spoke On the preceding evening—was appointed chairman, and addressed the people for about half an hour. In the firSt place he called upon the delegates, who had .gone to Blackburn on the preceding day, to step kr/maid into the: ring, and state the result of their mission. No delegates, however, made their appearance; and, after a short pause, he called ;for the'man who, he said, had accompanied him to Ashton ender-fsirie; hut as he also was not forthcoming, the chair man proeeeded to address the meeting with 4 good deal of vehemence, tellitig them that the weavers of Ashton were brave fellowe s :who were determined to baVe their rights, and would not run away like the weavers of Manchester, whom :he stigniatieed as cowerds. After a long harangue he told the people that he expected they would have come with something like this (holding up a stick') in their hands;' but they had, ilisappointed biro, and therefore he Would conclude his speech. Another person then stepped forward, and said he was neforturiately under sureties to kee t h e p eac e s or he would have addressed them as p holdly'asanyTurn ; hut it he . were to say any thing, it might cost Min a great deal of money. 1 4 would, how ever, observe, that they no doubt thought themselves op pressed, and -men who were oppressed bad always' a right f to stand up for themselves. The incessant tifforte, o 10 large a body of people to. hear what passed, fseased time ring to be broken in, and,the people then separated. It appeared very evident to us that the bulk of the people itisernbled felt very l'ttle":eympathy with- the violence 'niiitiifested by the speakers.' (From the Bolton Biarest.) STATI: OF TRADE, ....-We turn with pain to this gloomy thPie, attd•griavn that no improvement has taken place during the past week. Prices keep going down gradual 'ly, nod purchasers becbrat more scarce in Manchester tvervroarket.day. Yarn, 40 hanks to the pound, has been sold at 13d., and calicoes are reduced 2d. per piece: The stocks on hand are daily enlarging, and the dilheulty of effecting saieti at a profit price is greater than ever.— . We have repeatedly advised that the production should be lessened, rather than continue to add to an already overstocked market. The manufacturers in the neigh bourhood of Huddersfield appear to have arrived at the same conclusion, and have resolved to make fewer pieces instead of reducing the workmen's wages to nothing. It is indeed . a matter of polity, for every reduction is a serious hiss to those who hold large -stocks. We have heard of an instance which will show the necessity of this measure; A' loom at Stot-hillock, ,near this town, is working a 7-8 40 reed cotton broad, 81 piCka in the inch and 28 yards long, for 2s. out of the warehouse. What will. remain for, the. journeyman weaver, after paying for sizing, !winding, Bowen, and looM-rent? The work has to be taken 3 miles to the warehouse after it is finished. The •poors'-rate in this town is, we are told, to be ad vanced.to ss. in the pound. The collectors state that it is next .`to impossible to get in the 'old rate, and how they ill sudeeed with this addition may easily be guassed.— The rige will be grievously felt - by such as pay heavy rents, for the means of paying will of course fall off in proportion to the increase. We have been informed, that at the meeting lately held to hear appeals under the Police Act, a woman, the wife of a crofter who resides in this town, stated as a reason for exemption from the tax, that her husbtuid earned from 10s. to 14s. per week, out of which one-eighth was deduct ed by his masters, because they have not a badger's shop on the premises!! ! We are assured of the correctness of this statement by several respectable individuals, and we must say, if true, it is a most barefaced and villainous spe cies of robbery. The system of shops being opened for the accommodation of workmen seems to be upon the in crease; notwithstanding the severe penalties of the Act of Parliament made to prevent workmen being paid in goods instead of the current coin of the realm. We are really very sorry to hear that a large spinning concern in the neighbourhood, which has always maintained a high cha racter' in the town, is giving in to the prevailing practice, by cotrimencing one of these 30 per cent. poor-impoverish ing To say nothing of the injury which the reply shopkeepers sustain by the adoption of this plan, it is cruel to reduce the amount of a man's wages, by taking an extravagant profit on goods which he is compelled to purchase. With respect to the case above-mentioned, we refrain publishing the names of the parties; but if another instance of this abominable practice should come to our ears, we will assuredly bold up' the principals concerned to ;be knit abhorrence of society. DOring this week the most alarming reports have been prevalent of the intention of the populace of the ,sur- rounding villages to rise and attack their richer neigh bours; ,in consequence of which the civil and military authorities have been upon the alert, but hitherto, hap pily,,without any necessity for action. If we may believe some persons, however, it Would appear that meetings are regularly held on some' of the neighbouring hills, and that the poor famishing inhabitants of the villages have their Ipassions worked upon by:designing wretches, who would lead:them on to certain destruction, and then laugh at their folly. - 7 -Blackburn Mail. TOYSTOY, NEAR OLDHAM, July 12.-4 report is pre velem here thiamorning, that yesterday, at Burnley, a con siderable number of people assembled in the streets, to disperse whom the military were called out, and shOt.two.

The state of the country in general, and more particw ! larly of the manufacturing districts, is such as to excite micth anxiety, not unmixed with alarm. So far are the fresbetiOns of a speedy return of prosperity from being ulfilled, that affairs appear to become 'Worse and worse every day, By accounts from all parts of the country, it appears that the cessation of the dcontud for goods is . con. , unually compelling the manufacturers to dismiss additional numbers of warktnett; .and we,.perceive, from the Bolton ' paper, that five mills-suspendednperations at the end of 1 last Week in that town alone, by which not less than 2,000 wcirkmen were added to the multitudes who are already ' old of employment. Bound up together as the interests ' of the masters and the Workmen are;' it is impossible to afforo any permanent relief to the latter without some gait improverhent in the condition of the former. Where . . tens and hundreds of thousands of workmen are Out of entployment, and consequently destitute of the means of subsiatenee, the utmost exertion of private charity must fail to afford adequate relief. It may, indeed, by showing to the poor that the higher classes sympathize in their dis tresses,: serve to excite a feeling of kindness among the different ranks of society ; but without some mach more extensive relief, this feeling will be insufficient to prevent the disordet and tumult Whiehs getat and general distress inevitably produces. Hoivthis is to be afforded we are unable to say. We, however, think ' that one thing is quite obvious—viz., that no time' should. be lost in calling Parliament together. We are aware that this is not the ordinary season for assembling Parliament, but neither are these ordinary times. The embarrassments of the middle classes, and: the misery of the lower, render an extraor dinary remedy absolutely necessary ; and this remedy (if it can be afforded at all) can only , beafforded , by the com- bined power of the nation and, fhb Government collected in Parliament.—Leeds Mercury; The difficulty of finding labour' for the poor will 'Create a great drain upon the parochial rates luring the ap proaching winter.

From 1,500 to 9,000 persons were present. A number of resolutions were passed, expressive of their distressed situation, the most unportant of which was one to memorialize the ' Earl' of Harewood, Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire, to make their caseknown, that some means may be adopted to relieve their p resent calamities.

Wages have not been reduced so much as was expected, and perhaps required by the state of the trade ; but, instead of further reduction, all the large establish ments have reduced the number employed, and limited the time of work. The state of the hardware and metal trades of Birmingham and the surrounding counties is, we regret to say, much depressed the last few weeks, without any immediate prospect of amendment. --Jackson's Oxford Journal. On Friday a meeting took place here (Dublin) at the Weavers'-hall, between the manufacturers and operatives in the silk -trade, for the purpose of fixing on a scale of prices to be paid, during the present distressed state of the trade.

The state of the country is de scribed to be truly wretched ? by some very impartial and obseriing correspondents.—Dublin Correspondent: MIDDLETON, JULY 16.---,About„ 12 o'clock last night the inhabitants of this place were surprised by the sudden appearance of 200 or 250 men, armed with sticks and bludgeons. At the time of their arrival every thing was going on as usual in the place—shops and public-houses were open, and people were looking after their ordinary concerns. But the unexpected intrusion of these strangers caused an instant change in the appearance of things—every body was filled with mamma or alarm. The rioters came from towards Manchester, and halted in the market-place. —Some of them were heard to say, " Here are shops, we eau help ourselves to provisions, and here are shoes, let us each get a pair." They came in military array, and halted in their ranks at the word of command. By.their speech, their leaders were knoWn to be Irish. One num spoke aloud, and said, "If any honest man is prepared with arms, and disposed to join us, he will be made wel come"—but nobody came out, not one inhabitant of Mid dleton joined them.. Presently a noise was heard, and a cry that the soldiers were coming. Some then left their ranks ' but the main body passed. up Wood-street, and re treated across a place called Archer-park, and the Gieat park, into the old road to Manchester, by which rout they escaped. Themilitary, a party of the Queen's Bays, now made their appearance, accompanied by Messrs Norris and Foster, Magistrates, the Boroughreeve of Manchester, and several constables; and had it not been for their timely arrival, there is every reason to believe that the work of plunder would have commenced. Nothing, how ever, was now left for them to do; but to look after odd stragglers, two of whom Were taken and conveyed to Manchester, - having confessed they Came with the mob.' Three others were taken .this morning :hy,a watchman: And one is now in the dungeon here. He, is'a young man, poor, emaciated in appearance.. He sty' he MIS in 'Si. George's road when the mob came up, :and he was compelled by them to fall into the ranks, and to .come with them to Middleton. After the retreat of the rioters, the soldiers paraded the !streets and lanes, .and were received . at several places with hootings and shouting, and other expresiiona of disapprobation, but no atones were thrown, tult*ny violence offered. At one tirilo, tins soldiers took two young men into etwoify •bolouging to the town. Whilst searching them, one of the lads cried out, " I ha but. three-hapence, an yo muxina tak it." " No, no," re pliqd the warriors, " we won't take your money, my lad, we would much rather give you some." The general appearance of the rioters was meagre, and they seemed to have but little order amongst them. , One was heard to say" he'd bed—d if he went. s,ny further, there were so many masters - to please."' .TheT were, no doubt,, some of the most destitute, and, consequently, the most desperate of the community.

MiNCIIEsTER, JUIX lg.—Last night a meeting of se veral thousands of the working classes took place near Aneosts-street, at one of the outskirts of the town. The object of it seemed to be, how to remove their present distresses. The crowd was harangued by several speakers —One, particularly, dressed in a blue frock coat. There was something said about the. Middleton people and their delegates, and about taking up atms, and delivering them selves front present difficulties, At this period, three persons made their appearance, and stated that the Mid dleton people were armed and ready to come out. It was then resolved to march to Middleton forthwith, and join the body there. They accordingly set off for that place, but were quickly followed by the soldiers and several Ma gistiutes, who dispersed them, and took a number of pri- soners. _ _ A posting bill, of which the following is a copy, is here circulated : PUBLIC NOTICE. We, the undersigned Magistrates for the county of Lancaster, have observed with great regret that certain evil-disposed persona, strangers in Manchester; have, within the last few days, , been endeavouring to excite the peaceable and well-disposed inhabitants, b y i n fl ammator y language and addresses, to acts of outrage and insubordination; and in 'furtherance of their, , wicked object, have given notices of public meetings to be held in the evenings of several days in the present week, at which such strangers have been the principal speakers, and the meetings have been protracted to bite hours of the night; Now, we do hereby declare our opinion, that all such meetings are illegal, as having a tnanifeet and direct tendency to a breach of the peace, which it is our duty to protect.

On the first news 'of the seditious explosion, the Stiltan Mahmoud had quitted his summer palace of Beseliiktascii, on the European bank of the 13osphoross to return to the Seraglio ty degrees, the Ministers and Chiefs or departments, the .Mufti, the principal thematic, assembled at j Jali-koschk round the Grand Vizier. - Soon afterwards the AP' A Hussein Pacha, Commander of the camp of observation on the 1 European side, and Mehemet Pacha, Commander of the Asiatic I camp, was seen to arrive with numerous troops, which were joined by several battalions of rannoniers and bombardiers, with I I pieces of citinion from the battery of , Tophano. A considerable military force being thus collected under - the eyes of the Sultan, who, in the attire of a Warrior, himself directed the military di` - J positions, marched towards the Hippodrome. . The standard of Mahomet was hoisted before the Mosque of the Sultan Ahmed; - and by the public criers in every (porter of the town and suburbs. an appeal was made to every good Mussulmzn to range himself with arms under the standard of the Prophet: Numerous armed groups ran from all parts to the Atmeidan. Encouraged by the intrepidity of the Grand Seignor, anti the warlike ardour of Hus sein Pacha, they all swore to defend the Sultan and the throne to the last drop of their blood. - - " ' The same appeal had been made to all the mutineers. Three times they were summoned to return to the standard of the Prophet. They haughtily braved each appeal, and answeeede that they would not submit to the will of the Sultan before the new regulations were rescinded, and they had delivered up to them the heads of the Grand Vizier, of Hussein Pacha, of the Aga of the Janissaries, and of Nedschib Effendi: Furious at this demand, and far different from his predecessor, Selim 111., Who was the victim of his own weakness, the Sultan Blahmoud or dered Hussein Pacha to march with all the troops at his dill': sal against the rebels, whom a sentence of the Mufti had skew ) " put out of the pale of law.

Ina few hours the issue of the day, and the fate of the . i ,..„. 11 ° 1 7, series, were decided. - The lees of the rebels killed, irsclu wwr na ,; those who perished in the flames, is estimated at between 2, and 3,000 men.

In. the barracks were found consider/Ps:. , treasures, which were abandoned as booty to the conquerors:''; The fugitives were pursued iu all directions ; and those who tw, taken refuge in the stone buildings near the gate of Adrianople r. the Seven Towers, were successively compelled to surrender. 1 -". the 16th, which was Friday, when the Sultan went to his eats' tomed prayers to the Mosque, near the Seraglio, he was not accor* panieti by Janissaries, but only by tannoniers and bombardiers - r"_ Meanwhile * Ministers bad assembled in a tent pitched on toe Atuteidan, under the Presidencv of the Grand Vil er ' Hussein Pacha, and the Mufti, and formed therose" i l ti t i o a t ru ry a Intohe taken a tr itribunal 11 W ‘ and the other officers who had previously sworn to adopt °''' t ln he th re ei be rl:a . nds 4 ,, li bu th t e prin jani cipal siar ly ie th .
